Pumpkin chia pudding

Chia is a seed that works well in puddings. One tablespoon contains 55 calories, 2g of protein, and 6g of fiber. It also contains several important minerals including calcium, potassium, and iron.

If you like a thick pudding, start with less milk and then add more to get it the consistency you desire.
